heat shock protein 70

lipopolysaccharide heptosyltransferase I. This family consists of examples of ADP-heptose:LPS heptosyltransferase I, an enzyme of LPS inner core region biosynthesis. LPS, composed of lipid A, a core region, and O antigen, is found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria [Cell envelope, Biosynthesis and degradation of surface polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides].

Hsp70 protein. Hsp70 chaperones help to fold many proteins. Hsp70 assisted folding involves repeated cycles of substrate binding and release. Hsp70 activity is ATP dependent. Hsp70 proteins are made up of two regions: the amino terminus is the ATPase domain and the carboxyl terminus is the substrate binding region.

chaperone protein DnaK. Members of this family are the chaperone DnaK, of the DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE chaperone system. All members of the seed alignment were taken from completely sequenced bacterial or archaeal genomes and (except for Mycoplasma sequence) found clustered with other genes of this systems. This model excludes DnaK homologs that are not DnaK itself, such as the heat shock cognate protein HscA (TIGR01991). However, it is not designed to distinguish among DnaK paralogs in eukaryotes. Note that a number of dnaK genes have shadow ORFs in the same reverse (relative to dnaK) reading frame, a few of which have been assigned glutamate dehydrogenase activity. The significance of this observation is unclear; lengths of such shadow ORFs are highly variable as if the presumptive protein product is not conserved [Protein fate, Protein folding and stabilization].
